Aleksey Pesternikov commented on THRIFT-2247:
---------------------------------------------
Enhancing the patch to support weird keys is not trivial, as it requires
implementing custom maps/sets.
On the other hand, using string for binary keys would make cassandra and hbase
interface work (which is probably some of the major show stoppers)
> Go generator doesn't deal well with map keys of type binary

> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Go - Compiler
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Linux phileas 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
> 3.2.46-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux (testing/jessie)
> Reporter: Tonnerre Lombard

> The current Go generator doesn't deal well with maps where the map key is
> []byte. For some weird reason, you just can't have a map[[]byte]foo in Go, so
> we have to go for map[string]foo, which is actually equivalent (Go strings
> preserve all bytes).
> I'm trying to come up with a patch for this.
